In December 2022, Death Cab For Cutie announced they were embarking on a fall 2023 North American tour with frontman Ben Gibbard’s secondary group The Postal Service.
The tour, in which the groups will play their classic 2003 albums “Transatlanticism” and “Give Up” in full at all gigs, quickly made waves within the indie rock world.
However, now that the highly-anticipated tour is finally here nearly a year later, ticket prices have cooled down considerably.
In fact, some are downright cheap.
At the time of publication, we found a handful of DCFC/TPS seats going for as low as $20 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Better yet, that’s for the co-headliners’ Madison Square Garden gig on Tuesday, Sept. 19.
Death Cab and The Postal Service will be at MSG the night after too — prices start at $36 before fees for the Wednesday, Sept. 20 show.
Of course, not all shows are this inexpensive on their 31-concert run.

The Postal Service news
While Death Cab For Cutie has remained active in the 20 years since “Transatlanticism” became a hit, The Postal Service has remained relatively quiet post- “Give Up.”
However, just like the actual US Postal Service, The Postal Service always deliver never “Give Up”— even if it takes a decade to do so.
Most recently, the trio that brought the world “Such Great Heights” and “We Will Become Silhouettes” conducted a tenth anniversary tour in 2013.
These upcoming 2003 concerts will be the band’s first since that 37-show run.
Gibbard is more than excited to revisit some of his greatest hits too.
“I know for a fact I will never have a year again like 2003,” Gibbard said in a press release. “The Postal Service record came out, ‘Transatlanticism’ came out. These two records will be on my tombstone, and I’m totally fine with that. I’ve never had a more creatively inspired year.”
